Nor is it by the relentless application t< any given case, of the mere dead weight of a majority that the Union is to be pre srved. We of the North air, strong in n t:Lers, in v'otes, in phsical ft-ire : is it tutionism to violate the letter and of the constitution, and thus place the South in the alteruative of the dishonor to be incur. y passive submission to the unjusi .. -(fa majority, or to imputed factious n. by resistance to it ! No; that is dis uiomism,as this day, if rightly read, may serve to admouish us. For what is the Declaration of Independence ! We speals of it as the commencernent of our national. ity. low ? Was it not also a solemn ac' of disunion ?-the declaration of an op pressed minority, (the colonies) that the% would no longer continue united with al oppressive majority, consisting of the rest of the British empire! Think you that ma dear bonds of common country, of religiuu: sh and political associations, were surrenderet by the Declaration of independence! Ave many; for England still bore, even on ihr lips of our forefathers, the cherished appel httion of home. But ten years of actual of intended unconstitutiial aggression or their rights, ten years of depreciation ant denunciation of their charac,cr and con duct, ten years of legislative warfare o their interests, served to obliterate frot: the minds of the minority all impressio: of 'coitnon nationality with the rmajority and produced that Declaration of rnridpendl once. And although England set a prica on the heads of John llancock and Thormna Cuashing,' as traitors, yet they well nigh 4 and they did retort, that the aggressor, arnt not the aggrieved-that the violator of the public compact, not the victim of the viola tion-that the oppressive majority, not th oppressed minority-was respoitsitile fo he dissolution of the uniion between: t lo Irihs~h colonies and the liritish mnetro who My friends, I tepeat, thtere is sol emr admtotnition as well as proud recollect ic ocr us all in this a:nniversary.

On arriving in London, he isned a pamphlet, in which after stating 1 the objects of the Act, and the means which the State had provided for the payment of the money which she proposed to borrow, he says: " But the luugisature has not on ly provided the most abihnmt and available mneoza for meeting its engagemnent.s, but a fiscal agency, eminently adapted to ensure the most perfect punctuality. The pay inment of the irrterest and principal of this loan is guaranteed by the Bank of the State of South Carolina, an institution of as high character as any in the United States. The importance of the agency of such an institu. tin, connected, as it is, with all the opera tions of trade, an depending on the punc tual discharge of its engagements, for that public confidence upon which its prosperity essentially depends, will be fully apprecia. ted hy all wvco are practienlly acqiuainted with the inseparableness of the connuection between Blank credit anid Bank punuct ual ity." Against a private individutal the force of such evidence wvould bet overwhehning..--no .hulgre, int a Court of Justice, woul listen to an arguntent ngimst it; and because there is nto Court of justice which can conmpell thme State specifically to perforrn her con traet, or award damages against her, fior ac bireachi oft it, doe's it not fiollow that sh e is bound, in a highor degree thtan a private ini. dividual would be, to adhecrei to the moral ob ligactiona which it inmposes ?

(ongres s vhjt to provide a Government xeit ut1 the condition of excluding slaver by laW, the Executive branch of this Gbvernnett may at its own discretion invitenuch inhabitanti to meet in convention under such rules as it is or its agents may prescribe, and to form a constitution affecting not only their own rights but those also of fifteen States of the confederacy, by including territory with the purpose of oxcluding those States, from enjoyment, and without regard to the natu ral fitness of boundary or any of the con. siderations which should properly deter mine the limits of a State. It will alsa.ad mit that the convention thus calledinto ex istence by the Fxecutive may be paid by him, out of the funds of the IUnited States, without the sanction' ef (Cengress, in viola tion not of the plain provisions-of the Con. stit ution,. but of these prinsiples of obvious propriety whicr would forbid' any act calco Iated to make theA, corwention dependant upon it; and last, but not least, in.the series of measures which. this Government must adopt and sanction in passing this bill is the release of the authority of the United States by the l'xecutive alone to a Government thus Formed, and not presenting even suffi. cient evidence of its having the assentrof a majority of the people for whom it was do. Migned. With a view of all these consider ations the Government could never be brought to admit a State presenting itselJ under such circumstances if it wepenet for the purpose of excluding the opl' of the slaveholding States from all oorttinity ol settling witr their property in that territory Becmnnse to vote for a bill passe4 ender such circumstnces would be to agree t. a principle which may exclude forever here after, as it does now, the States which wc represent, from all enjoyment of the con mon territory of the Union; a principle which destroys the equal rights of their cons:itua ents, 'the equnaity of their States in the con. federcy', the equal dignity of those wherr they represent as men and citians in the eye of the law, and their equal t'ale to the protectio of the Govcrnment and the Con. sit inion. Recame- *all the propojttions have beer rejected which have been made to attairi either a recognition of the rights of the slavhfnttding Srates to a cmnmon enjoymnrl ot al? the territory of the United Srates as to a fair diiium of that territory, oLwee the nrmo-avehefng tates of the Union Every effort haring failed which has beet nvule to obtain a fair civision of the ter:ito ry propesed to be brought ia as the State ol Californtia. But, lastly we disearrt frnm this bIl, and solemy prTeIst Egsinst its pssagi , because in sanctioning measars so contrary to form. er precedent. to obv'iAs prAicy, to the spirit and interest of the Corrtitution of the Uni. tad Stmtes, for the purpose of excluding the slavehokding States from the territory thus to be erected into a State, this Government in effect declare that the exclusion of sla. very from the territory of the United States is anr object so high and important as to jts. tify a disregard not only of ilt the principles of sound policy but also of the Constitution itself. Against this conclusion we must now and forever protest, as it is destructive of the safety and liberties of those whose rights have been committed to oar carm, tin tal to the peace and equality of the States which we represent, and must load, if per sisted in, to the dissclution of that confoder. any in whieh the .laveholding States have never sought mote khan equalityr and. in 'whiclR they -will nots ba constent....rmens with letss.

Mr. H. in presenting. the proutest, said: thaut those who presentedi it, were aware that they had no right to demand it of the Sermte,~ hut they asked it as ai courtesy, to be permit ted in that waty to express th'eir strong djs approbation of the measure against whichi they protest. Mr. Davis, of Massachusetts, was oppos. eud to thme protest heimg euntered upon the Journ::l, beca use it wa~s contra.ry to all pre cedent, and that as this priilego~ had never been granted, it ought no toe be in this case. If those opposed toa measure wvere allowed to record thieir juastifications on the journal, i like privilege should also be accorded to those ini favor. Mr. Foote wasi opposed to the protest. lIt. had been ini.structcd by his legisiature te tioppoe the admission of California, and lie hadl done so; bunt,nafter the action of the Sen. ate, lhe corns.ideredl it his duty to cease all parliatmentary opposition, and submitL.2H flt that the placing of tis paper on the re. corids ofthe Senate, was fraught with eil to the country, and lhe would therefore en ter hits protest against the protest. Mr. Shields was in favor of' granting this courtesy to the Southern members. This protest would go to the country and be pub. lished in the newspapers and read, whether placed upon the journal or not; and ho did] not consider the inere placing of this paper upon the journual, would be the cause of any aidditional excitetment, than would be ccai. sinned by the mere publication. There were two rights he had always respected: the right of petition and that of compinmt. 11I0 regarded this as a complaint of the mi. nrity, and it was an act. of courtesy to thal minoirity to permit them to place it upun th< journal. Mr. Baldwin concurred with the view, expressedlby the senator from Massachu. setts,l{.\r. D~avis.)
